Tiger Woods still on the mend, to skip AT&T National

The much-anticipated return of Tiger Woods has been delayed at least another couple of weeks.

Woods wrote on his Twitter account that he will not play in next week’s AT&T National at Aronimink Golf Club outside of Philadelphia.

Woods, who continues to recover from injuries to his left knee and Achilles tendon, is the host of the event and said he plans to attend it.

A week after he missed the U.S. Open, the 14-time major champion tweeted Wednesday: “Doctor’s orders: sitting out the #attnational. I’ll be in Philly to support the event. Feeling stronger every day, but not 100%.”

Woods now has less than three weeks to get ready for the British Open, scheduled for July 14-17 at Royal St. George’s in Sandwich, England.

Woods has won three British Opens, including in 2006, less than three months after the death of his father, Earl.

But Woods was a different player those days at Hoylake, where he was ranked No. 1 in the world and finished 18-under – one shot shy of his Open record, 19-under set in 2000.

Woods, 35, is winless in 19 months, ranked 17th in the world and nursing what appear to be chronic injuries that have curtailed his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus’ record 18 majors.

Meanwhile, the top players in the world have caught and surpassed Woods, led by 22-year-old U.S. Open winner Rory McIlroy, whose performance last week at Congressional Country Club conjured memories of Woods’ dominance in 2000 at Pebble Beach.
